Give the older guys a breather here and there, rest up nagging injuries, etc.. I’d be leery of messing with that. And yeah, they need a reliever much more than they need a bat or a starting pitcher.

Why waste prospects for Dunn when the team already has enough OF, 1B and DH options. Plus, it’s been noted than Dunn wants no part of being a DH.
I think Johnny’s point about Washington trying to up the value of Dunn is head on, which may explain why the typically secretive Yanks said “we are out on Dunn”.
Washington got two players, inculding one top cathcing prospect for a pending FA relief pitcher. I’m sure the price for Dunn is insane if they got that for Capps.
